From Friday to Sunday, No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye will get to work with the rest of the Patriots' rookie class on the practice fields outside Gillette Stadium. Expected to be New England's next franchise quarterback, Maye will be the center of attention this weekend as he throws his first passes in a Pats uniform.
Maye, in a No. 10 jersey, has started building his chemistry with second-round wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk. The Patriots posted a video of one of Maye's connections with the Washington product, who will wear No. 1 for New England.

Maye will compete with veteran signal-caller Jacoby Brissett in training camp for the Patriots' starting QB job. As for Polk and Baker, they will be given every opportunity to establish themselves as go-to targets in a New England offense that lacks a true standout receiver.
